    1. I think the digital detox is a very good thing to be promoting. The problem is how to go about the digital detox. It should be a method of self care that you bring on yourself. In LA I’ve seen the digital detox become a trend. People se others “detoxing” so they detox. Is it really a detox if you do it for the attention?

    1. Although the Arabs in the past were learned, maybe you imagined that the relics of their knowledge have been passed to their descendants. They are a hundred times more barbaric and ignorant than the Greeks in Athens today.

      This is the line that made me stop and ask who gets to be the authority in these letters. Peiresc wants data about tides, mountains, and eclipses, and d’Arcos, who has lived in Tunis for years, answers by dismissing the people around him as unable to supply it. But his own explanation undercuts him: he says he is “ill and slow” and cannot do the fieldwork himself. So is the problem Tunisian ignorance, or his own limits, and why does he blame the society instead? He also admits that most people “do not know how old they are” and know only the “ceremony and law” of their religion, yet that is exactly the knowledge he must have gained by living among them. How can he claim to be an insider (“nos corsairs”) in one letter and an outside judge here?

      I also wonder how much this is performance. Peiresc was horrified by the conversion, and d’Arcos may be reassuring him that he still shares European contempt for “barbarism.” If so, his survival in the archive may depend on that reassurance. This connects to the imbalance we keep returning to: the only convert who left a record did so by writing in French to a French scholar, and in doing so he describes the people who left no record as incapable of having knowledge. Do the voices that survive tend to flatter the readers they were written for? And what would the Tunisian observers he dismisses have said about the eclipse, the winds, or the sea, if anyone had asked them?

    1. Choose the right approach: What do you already know about each solution? What do you still need to know? How can you get the information you need? Make a list of pros and cons for each solution.

      Solution 1 would be to get a 4 year degree. Pros: You can learn more and have better job opportunities. Cons: can cost more money and takes away from spending time with family. Solution 2 would be finishing a 2 year degree and getting a job. Pros: Able to start making money sooner and have more time for family. Cons: Might not have as many job opportunities. Solution 3 could be to work now and go back to school later. Pros: You can save some money and gain more working experience. Cons: It might be hard going back to school later, I would say I still need to know the peoples ages because we know they want to start a family in about 2 years but the guy also wants to work and go to school so if they are pretty young I would say to finish school completely first then have kids so you’ll be financially stable and be able to provide for your family but if they are pretty older I’ll say to do the 2 year degree option then plan for kids because that way you will have some knowledge and you might still be able to get a job and you’ll be able to have a family, also when the kid gets to a certain age maybe you can even return to school after that and get a higher degree.

    2. Generate solutions: What are at least two “right” answers to each of the problem pieces?

      I would say that finishing the 4 year college and learning more about programming to be able to get a video game design job after finishing college and start working full time to save money so that you’ll be able to provide for your family are some solutions.

    3. Narrow the problem: Can you break down the problem into smaller manageable pieces? What would they be?

      The problem can be broken into smaller parts by separating money, time, career and family issues such as how much will a four year college cost, is it gonna be affordable? Can school, work and family responsibilities be balanced? What education and programming skills are needed to become a video game designer? And How will continuing both school and work affect the plans the have kids?

    4. Define the problem: What is the core issue? What are the related issues? Are there any requirements to a successful solution? Can you come up with a metaphor to describe the issue?

      The main problem is deciding whether to continue at a four-year college to become a video game designer and still have time to start a family soon because you and the wife also work.

    1. colleges should be helping students build up the skills, traits, and resources that they need in both college and their future careers.

      I dont understand why somebody who comes from a 'poor' background is unable to receive more skills, traits, and resources as a student who comes from a 'rich' background.

    2. Measuring milestones helps administrators understand how well a group of students is doing without waiting years to see if they graduate.

      I like this approach because it can help students see where they're struggling at the most so that they can get help in those areas.

    3. Successful students have a large pool of resources, traits, and skills that they can draw from every day and when faced with sudden challenges.

      This is why everyone should help each other out or at least give advice.

    4. student’s ability to be successful in a certain academic environment.

      this is the kind of ability I want to have. Or at least be able to thrive in any sort of environment.

    5. These factors include family responsibilities, limited financial resources, interest in school, housing and food security or insecurity, self-discipline, degree expectations, race, parental income, age, commute distance, engagement in the campus, perceptions of faculty, and more.

      I understand this because if you dont have a good support system from your family it can make it harder to focus on studies especially with other responsibilities.

    1. stronger claim is a claim that is “harder to make true” in the sense that the world has to be one particular way to conform to that claim

    1. When you're working with the GitHub Copilot CLI in a terminal outside VS Code, you can now move the session into VS Code and keep going. Enter /code in the CLI, or /code-insiders for VS Code Insiders. The CLI exits, and VS Code opens the same session in the Chat view of the window for the session's folder, starting VS Code if it isn't running. The session keeps its conversation history, its model and reasoning effort, and its mode and permissions.
    2. When several chats run at once, keeping them all in one Agents window means switching between them and losing sight of the one you are waiting on. With chat windows, you can open a chat in a window of its own, and arrange that window so that the chat, its editors, and its terminals fit the task.
    1. That they could see me thinking­­–Nobody had better say one word to Baldwin about standing up and dancing about being Chinese, even if it makes every white girl in his class cry.

      Does social change come at the expense of the majority? No, no it does not. It does not cost them anything unless they were taking. Kids are not conditioned to be prejudiced, therefore, they are most responsive to social change because they seek to only benefit from it as the goals of social change are only to uplift the belittled.

    2. I said to Ellie and perhaps to Erin Perricone, "He's generous with his gladness. That's how it is to love who you are and let anyone join you there.

      The difference between self love and self obsession is a mindset. Self obsession is a concern with how you are, self love is an appreciation of who you are. Love is therefore not entirely directed and more importantly not exclusive. It can catch on, and doesn't cost anyone anything.

    3. The other kids looked at him and wondered what they had to dance about.

      Being the only black kid in a class in Washington state made me stick out. Some times were innocent, like when we ordered ourselves from lightest to darkest skin and I was last. Other times felt striking like when we learned about slavery and everyone kept staring at me. There were distinct moments where I became the other that I can remember, and here Baldwin is echoing that sentiment.

    1. Token efficiency is the number I actually optimize for — resolution rate matters, but a harness that burns 30% fewer tokens on equivalent tasks gives you more iterations and richer context before hitting limits. Would be interested to see this breakdown per-model rather than per-harness; same harness with different models can have very different efficiency profiles.
    2. I like GitHub copilot but it’s too expensive compared to Claude.  Great post but I’d like to see more comparing costs.  We took our usage data pre june 1st and worked out future costs of Claude CLI vs GitHub Copilot CLI and it’s a no brainer for us.  Can you incorporate more in the cost comparison angle?
    1. I prefer Local , and I don't like Github to dictate what harness I should use or just make it the default one by their choice , copilot harness consume to much tokensand I'm a simple guy I want to code step by step and control edit batches by simply clicking keep / undo why this is so hard for you , I'm not even using Github copilot subscription too pricey for no measurable benifitskeep the local available at all time , don't shovle your methodologies in our throats
    1. go back to the original data, tabulate the distribution of performances at each age,

      Question 5: How could the authors have addressed fairness and relevance?

      The authors could have addressed fairness by acknowledging the limitations of their original graphs and considering alternative explanations, including differences in sample sizes and participation across age groups. Rather than assuming aging explains every difference, they could have examined evidence that might challenge their interpretation.

      To address relevance, they could have compared performance distributions across age groups and included research that directly examines physical changes associated with aging. This would help separate the effects of aging from differences in participation and provide stronger evidence for their conclusion. The author’s willingness to recognize these limitations demonstrates the importance of evaluating evidence fairly.

    2. The curves plotted in these graphs do not represent the performance of any single individual.

      Question 4: How is the logic intellectual standard violated here?

      The logic standard is violated because the graphs compare world records set by different athletes at different ages rather than following the same individuals over time. The reasoning assumes that these differences accurately represent how a person’s physical performance declines with age. However, the evidence does not directly establish that conclusion. Other factors, including differences in participation and sample sizes, could influence the results. Therefore, the conclusion goes beyond what these particular data logically support.

    3. "The problem with that graph is that the sample sizes are very different for different ages,"

      Question 3: How is the completeness intellectual standard violated here?

      The completeness standard is violated because the original graphs leave out important information needed to evaluate the conclusion. They do not account for the differences in the number of athletes competing at each age or explain how smaller sample sizes could affect world records. Without considering these factors, the evidence does not provide a complete explanation of why athletic performance appears to decline with age.

    4. if it happens to the very best athletes in the world, of course it'll happen to you and me

      Question 2: How does this case use inductive reasoning?

      The author uses specific observations of declining athletic world records to support a broader conclusion that physical performance decreases as people age. This is inductive reasoning because the conclusion is based on patterns in the evidence rather than absolute proof. Although the records suggest a relationship between aging and physical decline, they do not establish how every individual experiences aging or prove that age alone explains the differences.

    5. The graphs represent the extremes of human performance.

      Question 1: What are two problems with the sample?

      The first problem is that the sample includes only elite athletes who represent the extremes of human performance, not the general population. Their results cannot accurately represent how everyone experiences physical aging.

      The second problem is that sample sizes differ significantly between age groups. Far fewer older athletes compete, which means declining world records could partly reflect fewer participants rather than aging alone. These limitations weaken the conclusion drawn from the data.

      • Arguing preoccupation with crime is from conflation with racial conservatism
      • don't choose to just see race everywhere
      • local news creates narrative as crime as violent and non-white
      • exposure to black criminal coverage makes people fear crime more, basically, fear black people
      • reinforces racial stereotype by confirming it which makes people look for other ways to confirm it
      • blacks are slightly overrepresented in coverage
      • but are depicted as violent disproportionally
      • but this is gonna vary because blacks are depicted violent more often
      • if the perpetrator was black people blamed race more
      • more biased = more blame

    1. the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century.

      Interesting, he's desired on rebuilding the USSR. However, I believe that the real reason for the war with Ukraine has to do with opposition of the NATO-Ukrainian alliance.

    2. a sacred mission to reclaim “historically Russian lands.”

      So does this mean Putin wants the USSR to be a thing again, but without the communism?

    3. With the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine now in its third year, Putin’s historical motivations are becoming more and more apparent. He regularly declares that major Ukrainian cities such as Odesa and entire regions of Ukraine are “historically Russian,” indicating that his imperial ambitions are still far from satisfied.

      A great example of President Putin using history to unite his country together and justify his actions in Ukraine. His personal ambitions are so strong however that we are more inclined to believe that Putin is just a dictator looking for an excuse to expand rather than a historically minded individual who respects his countries' history and wants to protect its values.

    1. capas ocultas

      Las capas ocultas permiten que una red neuronal aprenda relaciones complejas dentro de los datos. Sin ellas, el modelo se quedaría prácticamente en problemas lineales, algo insuficiente para la mayoría de escenarios reales. Al añadir capas ocultas, la red gana capacidad para: * Aprender representaciones jerárquicas de los datos (de lo simple a lo complejo). * Capturar relaciones no lineales entre entradas y salidas. * Hacer extracción y transformación de características de forma automática. * Resolver tareas avanzadas como reconocimiento de imágenes, procesamiento del lenguaje natural o predicción de series temporales.

      La profundidad (número de capas) y el diseño de la arquitectura influyen directamente en el rendimiento. Una red bien planteada puede lograr una gran precisión y generalizar mejor a datos nuevos.

    2. bases de datos vectoriales

      En una base de datos vectorial, los puntos de datos se almacenan como matrices de números llamados “vectores”, que se pueden comparar y agrupar en clústeres en función de la similitud. Este diseño permite consultas de baja latencia (la baja latencia es la capacidad de un sistema informático o red para proporcionar respuestas con un retraso mínimo), lo que lo hace ideal para aplicaciones de inteligencia artificial (IA).

    1. But the temperature did not matter.  He was bound for the old claim on the left fork of Henderson Creek, where the boys were already.

      The man does not think of anything but getting home to "the boys" and eating supper. His mindset is simple, void of any complex thinking, which means he does not see the danger of a temperature so low, that spittle freezes the minute it hits the air.

    2. There was no sun nor hint of sun, though there was not a cloud in the sky.  It was a clear day, and yet there seemed an intangible pall over the face of things, a subtle gloom that made the day dark, and that was due to the absence of sun.  This fact did not worry the man.  He was used to the lack of sun.  It had been days since he had seen the sun,

      The repetition here regarding the lack of sun is meant to emphasize the gloomy, almost hostile environment of the freezing Yukon. Despite it being a clear day, there is no light to clear away the pervading gloom that surrounds the man.

    1. replicators bring code and data.

      This only works, of course, where the researchers share the data or use data that's publicly available and easy to reconstruct.

      The latter is becoming more doable, though, given AI coding tools and agentic flows.

    2. paper

      Asterisk/tooltip: ... or other research object. Need not be published in a journal.

      Could also involve a small collection of papers on a single very important issue or theme; perhaps each group focuses on one of these, but is aware of the others.

    3. Which claims matter most

      Can also consider the relevance of the assumptions, theory, policy and field context, etc. So not only 'empirical data people' are involved

    4. Questions for the panel, and for you

      is it relevant for this group or are there better questions ?(remember to ask Anirudh and others about this)

      Also, the lines are a bit too small and close together

    5. paid

      We offer modest compensation (link the page); at least $100 + prizes for strongest work, aiming at an average of at least $450 if funding permits (and a higher rate may be warranted).

    6. AI can

      I'd say "most Stata code" ... therre may be some Stata specific procedures that are hard to rebuild in other platforms, even with AI tools.

      But this is foregrounding Stata a bit too much -- it's a v important side issue -- mention it in a next slide maybe/with tooltips

      Placing notes into neighborhoods using his alpha-numeric system allows this sort of "sparse indexing". Imagine if he had indexed everything related to it in his system as "sociology", then the keyword "sociology" would have absolutely no meaning because the signal gets swamped in noise.

      Most people in digital contexts don't place their notes into neighborhoods like he did, so to find things they may need to over-index to be able to find them, but they'll need finer-grained search to delve beneath the noise of the dozens, hundreds, or thousands of notes they may accumulate.

    1. Arrange room. Instructors should optimize the space in their classrooms so that students/groups can interact and move about the room easily. It is essential that a group’s seats face one another.

      This is another important factor. If a teacher is going to do group projects often than the room should be setup in a way that supports the groups. For example have four desks together so you can have easy groups of two or four at any given desk island.

    2. Determine Group Size and Assign Students to Groups.

      I think this group size section is very important. If a group is too large or too small for a project that could place issues on the project itself. So the group size here does matter and it should be taken into account given the needs of the project.

    1. whereas only 20–30 percent lead students to explain, clarify, expand, generalize or infer

      I would say here that there should be more questions that promote students to think deeper into the meaning of the question. I do not think questions should simply lead to cough out answers of solutions, the students should have to think.

    2. challenge

      I think the word "challenge" here is very important. In history or social studies classes I think one of the main goals that should be pushed is the idea of critical thinking. If a student is challenged on any given history topic it will make them think. In my view that is very important and should be something that is pushed in the classroom.

    1. Scholars and reporters have noted the democratizing effect of new media, meaning that new media help distribute power to the people through their personal and social characteristics.

      I think that new media helps people socialize. I say this because new media brings people together and helps them relate to each other. One example is new trends which bring an inside joke and the people that know the trend has a better chance of relating to people because it's new and popular. People who do not understand new trends typically have a hard time socializing since they do not understand new trends.

    1. When we consider “old media,” which consist of mainly print, radio, and television/movies, we see that their presence in our lives and our societies was limited to a few places.

      I believe what separates old media to new media is how consistantt and how reliable they are. I say this because new media is consistant and is always keeping up with trends like the iPhone. The iPhone always updates and has new festures. The iPhone is reliable because it connects people to the media, while also having features like calling, texting people, and being able to lien to music. Old media is like a Walkman which can only be used to listen to music that is limited and is not getting consistent updates and is no longer reliable since it has been replaced by the iPhone, and is no longer in demand.

    1. Given the lack of definite PCOS treatment, individuals with PCOS have expressed the preference for multi-disciplinary, integrated care by health professionals with expertise in PCOS who will listen and help them to focus on practical skills when providing lifestyle advice, ultimately empowering them to self-manage their condition

      my scoping review address the need for this even more with quality of life being mentioned

    2. espite concerns regarding the quality and reliability of social media content, these platforms may play an important role in disseminating PCOS- related information.

      it is showing the relationship between information quality

    3. his scoping review explores the use of the Internet of Things (IoT) in PCOS management. Results were grouped into six domains of the IoT: mobile apps, social media, wearables, machine learning, websites, and phone-based. A further domain was created to capture participants’ perspectives on using the IoT in PCOS management.

      This scoping review is looking at the relation between internet things and PCOS, where as mine is focused on the person. itself

    1. In 2011, 52 percent of American partisans said that they definitely or probably would not marry a member of the opposing party.

      this is kinda shocking but also especially as a woman it is understandable

    2. have even found effects of partisanship on nonpolitical outcomes, such as willingness to engage in economic transactions with outgroup partisans.

      why they say if you're in business to not bring it up

    3. This social loosening freed Americans to rearrange their partisan, social, and civic affiliations. It also, however, led Americans to feel increasingly detached from their communities and country, and compelled them to seek comfort in increasingly homogeneous neighborhoods, towns, and churches, causing American citizens to sort themselves into geographically isolated groups that shared their culture, values, race, and politics. They disengaged from their old, community-centered groups and formed new affiliations, tailored exactly to meet their needs

      we need each other, and not just who we like to be around

    4. By 2000, Republicans overwhelmingly felt that conservatives were their kind of people. Democrats felt this way about liberals as well, but not to the same degree.

      shows true today

    5. After Kennedy’s death, however, Lyndon Johnson, the first president from a southern state, chose to align the Democratic Party with the northern contingent on the issue of civil rights.

      hes kinda the father of modern day democrats

    6. The increase in partisan-ideological-identity differences is more than twice as large as the increase in partisan policy differences

      we care more about label and belonging than policy

    7. Specifying ideology as a social identity makes it clear that identity-based ideological sorting is increasing more robustly than the traditional measure of ideology can indicate. Democrats and especially Republicans are feeling closer to liberals and conservatives, considering them to be groups of people that are most like them “in their ideas and interests and feelings about things.” To a much larger extent than in 1972, partisans in 2000 had found their ideological clans.

      makes sense especially with southern realignment

    8. he sorting of American social groups into two partisan camps has intensified in recent decades, leading to a distinct decrease in the number of cross-cutting cleavages

      we don't feel like we have enough in common

    9. The more divisions there are, and the less organized those groups are around any one division, the more peaceful and cooperative a society can be

    1. B - Sitting upright. Rationale: The client who is short of breath will experience greatest comfort sitting in an upright position. This position will also allow for comprehensive auscultation of all lung fields. Fluid or mucus A - Assess the pulse oximeter probe site to ensure an accurate reading. Rationale: If the client's clinical presentation does not align with collected metrics, it is important to confirm the metric before implementing additional action.

      Kellea or Angela - I think these answers and how they are "numbered" is very confusing and don't seem necessary to me. There is only 1 Learning Activity in Ch. 10, and the answers are self-contained. Meaning it's all multiple choice or fill in the blank. There are 12 questions to the activity. The way this is numbered and lettered doesn't sync with the actual Activity. Can we remove this? Or if we want to keep it, I'll try to figure out a better way to identify this into to the activities. Thank you.

    3. Answer Key to Chapter 6 Learning Activities D - Remove obstacles when ambulating. Rationale: Cranial nerve II is the optic nerve, which governs vision. The nurse can provide safety for the visually impaired client by clearing the path of obstacles when ambulating. A - Cerebral function. Rationale: The mental status examination assesses functions governed by the cerebrum. Some of these are orientation, attention span, judgment, and abstract reasoning.

      Kellea or Angela - Chapter 6 doesn't have any "open-ended" questions currently. Perhaps this is left over from an earlier version of the book. Can we remove all of this? (We don't need the heading either.) Thank you.

      Kellea or Angela - This is where the "Velcro" statement was. It read: ... large airways popping open. Some compare the sound of coarse crackles to Velcro being pulled apart. Fine crackles ...

      We can use "Velcro" in that way ... We'll need to use something else. Or write it as ... to Velcro(R) Brand tape being pulled apart.

    1. Deregulation refers to the overturning or revising of policies that were in place to ensure that media outlets serve the interests of the public and include diverse viewpoints, programs, and ownership.

      I believe that there should be limits to how much a big corporation can own/control in media outlets. I say this because big corporations like to buy all forms of media outlets so that they gain more audience. This is terrible because small indie companies won't stand a chance since big corporations are buying all forms of media and taking over and causing indie media outlets to lose attraction over their audience. Not only is it terrible for indie companies but also for people who dislike big corporations since now big corporations are taking over all forms of media making it hard for people to avoid them.

      Dalton, Same issue with bolding here as in Section 6.2 ... these first letters are bold in Edit mode, but not here. I even tried copy & paste with the capped/bolded letters from the list below, and that didn't work either. Please help as you can. Thank you.

      Dalton - When I'm in "Edit" mode, these initial/capped letters are bold. But they don't appear bold here. (Same is true for the "Oh Once One ..." statement below.) Yet, the bolded letters in the list below are fine. Can you please help? Thank you.

    1. . While smell, taste, and touch can add context to a conversation over a romantic dinner, our interaction with mass media messages rely almost exclusively on sight and sound.

      I believe face to face adds romance to a conversation. I say this because mass media messages are just delayed interactions and have less romance. The reason is anyone can be romantic on mass media messages but won't actually build any real romance but more like a false sense of romance. In the other hand face to face builds romance because the person can actually see direct interactions and can get physical, which brings nonverbal interactions.

      Kellea or Angela - I'm afraid I don't see how this works ... There is no "image" to see. When I click on the large "?", I just get the descriptive term. Please review and confirm this will work for the students. Thank you

    1. While our interpersonal interactions are direct, our interactions with mass media messages are indirect, as they require technology or a “third party” to facilitate the connection.

      I believe it is true that mass media is indirect. I say this because interpersonal interaction is face to face and does not rely on a third party to send a message. Another thing face to face interactions are immediate unlike third parties which can take forever to send. You see third party do not grantee that the person will respond immediately which causes a delay, which makes their interactions indirect.

    1. NC Protects Man

      I'm intrigued by this section as I expected there to be more discussion of conservation efforts and not just data collection.

    2. al Survey, created an created the online Mangrove Explorer Mapping Tool depicting the current (as of 2021) distribution of mangroves in the southeastern U.

      This will probably be a useful visualization to include in our presentation.

    3. particular, black mangroves, which are the least sensitive to lower temperatur

      Why so? I would expect (by the name alone) black mangroves to absorb more light and heat up more + hold heat more strongly. Wondering about the actual differences between the different species.

    4. There are three types of mangrove species native to the United States: red, black and white. All three species can filter out salt from seawater as it enters their roots.

      Important background species context

    5. also benefit from the natural experiences that mangroves offer. Whether birding, fishing, snorkeling, kayaking or paddle boarding, people can enjoy the therapeutic calm and relaxation that comes from exploring these unique coastal ecosys

      Tourism and recreational services, aka cultural ecosystem services as well.

    6. Mangrove forests capture carbon dioxide emissions and other greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, trapping and storing them in their carbon-rich flooded soils for millennia. This buried carbon is known as “blue carbon" because it is stored underwater in coastal ecosystems like mangrove forests, seagrass beds and salt marshes.

      How much more significant is this than the way that trees typically process Co2 and release oxygen? Wondering if there's a quantitative measurement process that would help to give me a better understanding via comparison.

    8. Mangroves' complex root system helps filter salt from salt water, enabling them to thrive in harsh coastal enviro

      Interesting and unique characteristic that likely explains why it's so successful as an invasive species - reminds me of the snakehead fish

    9. reated by growing populations, burgeoning development and climate change, risks to people and property from flooding and storm surge are on the rise. Mangroves provide valuable flood protection and r

      Ultimately I think it boils down to nature for and despite people, with little discussion of "and people" or even "for itself"

    10. en mangrove forests are cleared and destroyed, they release massive amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change.

      This feels like a possible negative feedback loop? Either way, interesting to see ecological destruction then cause climate change, as I feel typically climate change leads to these kinds of results in species.

    11. uman impacts such as dredging, filling, water pollution, alteration of freshwater flows and development can lead to mangrove erosion and habitat destruction

      Nature despite people, a wide variety of actions that have negative impacts on mangrove populations

    12. mangroves are a common feature along the coasts in much of the Florida peninsula and south Texas, warming temperatures have caused them to expand their range northward in recent decades. Mangroves are now found in parts of Louisiana and Mississippi and along the Atlantic coas

      Both good background information on current populations/location, and the changes as a result of climate change

    13. They provide valuable nursery habitat for fish, serve as a mecca for birdwatching, and protect people and property along our coasts from the impacts of erosion and storms.

      Vince, Kellea, or Angela - can we point readers to another video? Or perhaps include written directions? Thanks.

    1. more than 100 terms for sea ice alone in the Yupik language.

      I think this shows how language reflects what is important in a culture. People develop words based on what they experience in their daily lives.
